How to prevent hamartoma in daily life

Due to the lack of understanding of hamartomas, many patients are very afraid that hamartomas will endanger their lives. In fact, these worries are unnecessary. Modern medicine can completely cure hamartomas. However, the prevention of hamartomas is very important both before and after the disease. So how can hamartomas be prevented in daily life? Let us find out below.

1. Improve eating habits. Arrange daily diet reasonably, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in carbohydrates and crude fiber, appropriately increase the proportion of coarse grains and whole grains in the staple food, and do not eat too fine or too refined. Change the habit of eating meat and high-protein foods as the staple food. Eat less high-fat foods, especially control the intake of animal fat. Therefore, a high-fat, high-protein, low-fiber diet produces more carcinogens, which act on the large intestine for a long time, which will inevitably lead to an increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer.

2. Actively prevent and treat intestinal diseases and take physical exercise. Prevent various polyps, chronic enteritis (including ulcerative colitis), schistosomiasis, chronic dysentery, etc. Intestinal polyps should be treated early. There are five major types of colon polyps, namely adenomatous polyps, metaplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps, hamartomatous polyps, etc. Among them, adenomatous polyps are true tumor polyps and a precancerous lesion of colorectal cancer. Therefore, when adenoma is found in the large intestine, it should be treated, the adenoma should be removed and a pathological examination should be performed.

It is hoped that benign adenomas can be removed at an early stage to prevent colorectal cancer. If not treated early, most of them will turn into colorectal cancer, and the prognosis is poor. In addition, habitual constipation should be actively treated, and attention should be paid to maintaining smooth bowel movements.

3. Regular check-ups. People at high risk of colorectal cancer, such as men over 40 years old, patients with familial multiple intestinal polyps, patients with ulcerative colitis, patients with chronic schistosomiasis, and people with a family history of colorectal cancer, should have regular check-ups and be alert to the warning signs and early symptoms of colorectal cancer, such as changes in bowel habits, alternating diarrhea and constipation, bloody or black stools, and flatter and thinner stools.

4. Make good preparations before rescue and emergency surgery. Renal hamartoma is prone to sudden spontaneous bleeding. If the bleeding is large and continues to develop, shock may even occur. Then, surgical treatment is necessary. Therefore, on the one hand, rescue work should be done well. On the other hand, preparations for surgery should also be done well, such as skin preparation, emergency examination, blood preparation, and psychological preparation of the patient.

Hepatic hamartoma is a rare congenital liver tumor-like malformation. In essence, hepatic hamartoma is a result of embryonic malformation with tumor characteristics. From a surgical perspective, this disease is still classified as a benign liver tumor.
